Newbie, Help on starting

Hello Benjamin, have you tried setting up any portfolios on resources like Behance? You might as well find some clientele in there. Did you build your WordPress portfolio all by yourself? Did you use any ready-made theme for this?

It sounds really good you started as a freelancer. You did a good job by build your portfolio. Make it strong and your online presence is also important. Social media is the biggest and useful tool for freelancers. You can engage with people in same field. You are a beginner so your self confidence and patience is needed. Always stay secure with digital signature. It will help you to avoid scams. Try on online sites such as Upwork, Fiverr and many more. I am sure you will get your first project very soon.

Sometimes getting experience means investing time and energy in for free at the beginning. One thing I can suggest is to ask friends or family members if they need your services and then you can add the work that you do for them to your portfolio and develop a small list of work experience. Often business starts off with small circles and word of mouth. I would also suggest freelancing sites as well, but at the beginning don't go with one that you have to pay for. Use free platforms (just do a quick google search and you will find some). Starting out is always a bit difficult. It takes a lot of hours of investment and a dedicated and patient attitude. Nothing happens over night.

Hi,

Great ideas like [USER=29729]@FrenchPress[/USER] mentioned why not offer your services for your friends and family first and then add it to your profile. Another way to get work and also reviews is to go on websites like peopleperhour.com + fiverr.com.

I know that you might not make much money (but you could) will get your name out there including some review of your work and you can start from there.

But keep working on your wordpress site. Make sure that you add your best work, contact details and also reviews.
